      The people who made this list know s**t about beer. Only one Trappist beer, and Red Stripe is better than Arrogant B*****d and Dead Guy? And what the h**l is Corona even doing on this list? Did this come from actual tasting or just a Google search for beer names?

        Probably from a bunch of Budweiser drinking American's that when they taste something else, it is either the best thing in the world (the smarter ones) or trash (the uncultured). The average American can't tell the difference between beer and piss water.

      For those that find this a little too strong and bitter, mix it with a Bass Ale to make a "Black & Tan".
